A Born Detective.

A good story is told at the expense of
q well-known private detective of this
city. When he first started out in the
business he was very proud of his work,
and told some marvellous tales of his
success as Vidocq, and was constant
ly planning ways of getting the law
breakers into his grasp. One evening
his father came home rather late, and,
to his surprise and amazement, found
all the doors and windows open. He
rushed inside, expecting to find the
house ransacked. Nothing, however,
had been disturbed, and he found his
son sitting in the parlor, quietly smok-
ing. Harry" gasped the old gentle
man, edo you know that all the doors
and windows are open?" "Oh. yes; 1
opened them" "But don't you know
that thieves might get in?" That's
just what want. L am laying trap
for them," replied the disciple of
vidocq. The old gentleman fell upon
his sons shoulder and wept in tender
recognition Of his genius. -Philadel-

Quotations from Samuel Smiles.

The courage that displays itself in silent
effort and endeavor-that dares to endure
all and suffer all for truth and duty-is
more truly heroic than the achievements of
physical valor, which are rewarded by
honers and titles, or by laurels sometimes
stepped in blood.
There is scarcely q great truth or a doc
trine but has had to fight its way to public
recognition in the face of detraction, cal
jimmy. and persecution.
Self-control is only courage under an
other form.
Self control is at the root of all the
virtues.
Let man give the reins to his impulses
and passion, and from that moment he
yields up his moral freedom.
We may train ourselves in a habit of pa
tience and contentment on the one hand,
or of grumbling and discontentment on the
other.
Forbearance and self-control smooth
the road of life, and open many ways which
would otherwise remain closed.
A strong temper is not necessarily q
bad temper.
1t is not mems faults that ruin them, so
much as the manner in which they conduct
themselves after the faults have been COM
mitted.
There are words that strike even harder
than blows; and men may speak daggers,
though they use none.
The wise and forbearant man will re-
strain his desire to say smart or severe
thing al the expense of another's feelings,
while the fool blurts out what he thinks,
and will sacrifice his friend rather than his
joke.
When one is tempted 10 write a clever but
harsh thing, though 1t may be difficult to
restrain it, it is always better to leave it in
the inkstand.
1t is said that, in the long run, the world
comes round to and supports the wise man
who knows when and how to be silent.
We have heard men of great experience
say that they have often regretted having
spoken, but never once regretted holding
their tongue.
A man of true feeling fires up naturally
at baseness or meanness of any sort, even
in cases where he may be under no obliga-
| ton to speak out.
The pursuit of ignoble pleasure is the
degradation of true happiness.
A right minded man will shrink from
seeming to be what he is not.
Duty embraces mans whole existence.
The examples set by the great and good
do not die: they continue to live and speal
to all the generations that succeed them.
II is idleness that is the curse of man
not labor.
Sloth never climbed hill nor overcamt
difficulty that it could avoid.
Even leisure can not be enjoyed unless i
is won by effort. If it has not been earned
by work, the price has not been paid for it
Idleness eats the heart out of men, as o.
nations, and consumes them as rust does
| iron.
Power belongs only TO the workers; tn,
idle are always powerless.
IL is the laborious, painstaking men wh'
are the rulers OF the world.

REMARKING upon the fact that some
engineers still use tallow as a cylinder
lubricant, writer in mechanical
journal asserts that they do so at the
risk of destroying the surfaces of valve
seats, piston rings, and even the cylin-
der itself; this arising from the nature
of tallow, which is a compound of sew
eral fatty acids, oleic, stearic, margaric,
ETC., it is enormously supposed that
pure grease is the base of all tallow,
and that the acids, so-called, are in
some way incorporated in the process
of rendering, but the fact is that no
system of refining can eliminate the
acid without destroying or neutralizing
the grease itself, in a measure saponi-
flying or turning it into soap. Again,
clear suet is often used, but this does
not remedy the evil, the danger to sur
faces still remaining; the steam heat
decomposes the tallow or suet, and sets
free, or renders active, the fatty acids
with the results set forth. The only
value in tallow as lubricant, accord
ing to this writer, lies in its heavy
body, which permits it to remain in
contact with surfaces under pressure,
but the same object can be obtained
with mineral oils that are free from
adulteration with animal fats, and this
accounts for their increasing introduce

THERE is no moment like tho pres
ent; not only so, but, moreover, there
is no moment at all--that is, no instant
force and energy-but in the present.
The man who will not execute his
resolutions when they are fresh upon
him can have no hope for them after
ward; they will be dissipated, lost,
and perish in the hurry-skurry of the
world, or sink in the slough of indo-
lence.

AN experimenter mentions his sue
cessful experience in drilling holes
three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter
through glass plates about one-eighth
OF an inch thick, by the use of an or
binary bow drill, with spirits of turpen-
tine as lubricant. The holes were
drilled from one side until the point of
the drill Just punctured the opposite
side of the glass; then the glass was
turned over and the holes finished by
drilling from the opposite side.

PERHAPS the summary of good breed
ing may be reduced to this rule: "Be-

should behave unto you" This will
most certainly oblige us to treat all
mankind with the utmost kindness,
civility and respect, there being moth
ing that we desire more than to be
treated SO by them.

The Georgia State Fair opened at Macon on
the oath with very large attendance. The dis
play of exhibits was extensive, though many
car loads had not yet been unpacked The event
of the day vas the arrival OF ex-Presdent Jeifer-
son Davis and party. The press dispatches report
the arrival as follows:
Elk President Davis, accompanied ny Mrs Da-
Wis, Miss Winnie and Mrs. Hayes, OF Memphis,
reached here this afternoon at O'clock under es-
cort of the special committee tha. lett here Sun
day From the time the car left Biloxi until il
reached Macon the pathway was one OF flowers
All along the line multitude of men, women
ann children focked to the train 10 catch q
glimpse Of Mr.. Davis but he was too feeble 10
respond. Only at Americus did he appear on
the platform, and that was for lew minutes
Tue committee from that place met the tram at
Smithvie aud prevailed on him to do this The
party was joined at Montgomery by the Mayor
and q large delegation of citizens who when tue
party came on through 10 Macon came along.
Long before the train arrived here the depot
and the streets arOuRd it were packed with
dense crowd estimated at 10000. When the
car rolled under the shed yell went up that
could be heard for milea 1t was q long time be-
fore Mr. Davis and his party could be gotten Of.
The assistance OF the police had to be called in
and then the difficulty was not fessened much
The presence of Mr.. Davis in the carriage was
the city. 1t was simultaneous. and completely
illuminated the town. The enthusiasm knew
no bounds. All along the line blazed illumina-
ted signs, such as Welcome, Honored Chief"
and the like Mr. Davis gave way to his sensa-
tions and wept.
Frequently the march was interrupted on &C
count of the crowd blockading the streets, and it
was fully an hour after the train stopped before
he reached the home of Col ]. NJ. Johnston,
where he will remain during his visit. In the
large crowd that thronged the line of march
were many one-armed and one-legged veterans
gathered from various sections. Mr. Davis is
feeble but from weakness, and unclosed
wound received in Mexico. he makes his last
journey to meet the old Confederates upon the
understanding that nothing will be required of
him to tax strength. He viii not be allowed to
make speeches, however urgent the demand
upon him, nor can the people even shake his
hand. All must be content to see him, and have
him among them. His spirit is willing, but his
failing strength restraints him.
